Hydroxycoumarins as selective MAO-B inhibitors

Add time:08/21/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

A series of 3-aryl-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives was synthesized with the aim to find out the structural features for the MAO inhibitory activity and selectivity. Methoxy and/or chloro substituents were introduced in the 3-phenyl ring, whereas the position 6 in the coumarin moiety was not substituted or substituted with a methyl group or a chloro atom due to their different electronic, steric and/or lipophilic properties. Most of the synthesized compounds presented MAO-B inhibitory activity. The presence of methoxy and chloro groups, respectively in the para and meta positions of the 3-phenyl ring, have an important influence on the inhibitory activity. Moreover, the presence of a chloro atom in the six position of the moiety (compound 7) improved the inhibitor activity as well as its selectivity against MAO-B compared with iproniazide, used as reference compound. Docking experiments were carried out to understand which are the most energetically preferred orientations adopted by compounds 5, 6 and 7 inside the MAO-B binding pocket.
